I`ve got a feeling that we might all be pleasantly surprised by the crowd next Thursday night. This is a big game: Penrith, reigning premiers and on fire, humbling all before them. Roosters hitting a rich vein of form and with a golden opportunity and great chance to make a statement and knock them off.
With a brilliant new stadium that is almost worth just going for I expect we`ll see a massive turn-out of Roosters` fans, healthy Penrith numbers and a large contingent of neutrals there to experience a great stadium, great atmosphere and what could be one of the games of the year. And don`t have to get up to go to work the next day !
35K + for me.

I think that's at the very optimistic end of estimates.

Here's the state of play at Allianz for next Thursday - it doesn't look to me like they have put tickets on sale yet for Level 2 at the northern and southern ends. They will likely go on sale next week if the current GP allocation shown in blue is close to being exhausted. It's unlikely that level 4 east (circa 8,000 seats) will be released.

Even if there is a strong showing by SCG members in level 4 west, it's hard to see a crowd over 30,000. I think 25,000 is a good ceiling estimate.

Does there seem to be much hype around this year? Last year their crowds finished strong despite having another poor year on the field so disappointing if that hasn’t carried over to a new year.

I think they should be targeting this one for a decent attendance to get the ball rolling again, run promotions & ticket deals etc. Titans V Dolphins should be getting 20k+, local derby and all. Anything under 16-17k would be disappointing IMO.

It's unfortunately not uncommon for the Titans to start a season with weak crowds and then for attendances to build as the season grows. I'm not sure why this happens, maybe the locals aren't thinking about football in March?

2023: Opening Crowds: 14,483 & 12,452 | Average: 19,536
2022: Opening Crowds: 13,481, 8,774 | Average: 15,184
2019: Opening Crowds: 9,843, 8,680 | Average: 11,587
2018: Opening Crowds: 10,238, 12,713 | Average: 12,807
2017: Opening Crowds: 13,933, 11,612 | Average: 13,688

Anyway, if the Titans put on a decent performance today, it will help move some tickets next week.

Yeah I'm hoping 25k and that would be a good crowd for this fixture
